The trouble with YOU AMERICANS, Eric, is that with the power and influence you have in the world, you are turning it into a brutish place, where every other country suffers from your lack of care and greed for more power and more money and more control. If you wish to be admired and respected in the wider world try to remember there is one and that every action you take impacts on that wider world. (From one of your allies)Mothers Rule

Strike a blow for freedom, kill all the Fox News Fascists!

What a bumbling fool that woman is.

Speak your mind, Sally Field-That should have been in line with freedom of speech!!!

Yeah grayson and Your buddy bush wants a monarchy

Eric good post for the most part. Do tell though what aspects of Republican ideology you admire since you seem to think balance is important. Thanks.

Grayson, no one can be so dumb! There are 300 million people in this country and you use the fact I don't know someone "personally" who has had their civil liberties or rights taken away as evidence it doesn't happen???? Really, I'm embarrased for you, stop.

Grayson... I think it would be best if you (and everyone else for that matter) remove yourself from your personal political bias before you continue this ridiculous debate. Your opinion is clouding your judgment - any "intelligent" person would know that was a BAD thing. You are asking a very select group of people (those reading this forum) if any of them have had PERSONAL experience with their rights being violated. I would argue that the percentage that happening would be relatively small, obviously, just on mere ratio. However, that is inconsequential. And I'll tell you why... It doesn't matter to me what YOUR political affiliation is. Many opposing views are needed to justify a balanced democracy. No one should be arrogant enough to think that only one party is the right one - that's just plain ignorant. And even though it may not matter to me your political association, I would not let it stand if YOUR rights were being violated. In a fair and balanced democracy, no one's rights should be threatened. Who cares whether MY right have been affected. We should be fighting for ALL Americans. BECAUSE WE ARE ALL AMERICAN. "Our" rights are being threatened. Even if it only happens to "one" of us. It is still happening. Why you care so much about "personal experience" I don't know. That should not matter. You are American, like I am American, like Zain Afzal and Kashan Afzal are American. That is all that matters.

Fox News = RNC propaganda

Divide and Conquer!!!

Apparently you didn't read anything that I wrote. I actually even repeated it twice. YOU DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THEIR RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY. None of the people you have ever met in your life have had any rights taken away.

I believe thats the end of the argument.

LOL Grayson you must be the stupidest reactionary I have ever met. Can you read? Two American citizen's being kidnapped and tortured with the expressed permission and complicity of the FBI is not an example of having one's right's as a US citizen taken away? Man, so what if they shut your water off, take the meds anyway. Now!

Take a look at my post where I asked if anyone ANYONE had a personal account of the Bush administration taking away their rights of any kind. John responded, and he had NONE. NONE of his rights have been taken away and he doesn't know anyone who's rights have been taken away. Good call there! Death to the constitution! I swear its happening, theres just no factual proof!

So now that everyone agrees Bush has not taken away any rights of any kind, lets stop with the lying, okay?

Bush derangement syndrome at its best!

How dare she say "GOD DAMN". God is not a four letter word but Damn is. Wow ..I have heard worse words come out of Cheney's mouth and Senators mouths and Fox aired them on television. Hummm.

Sally Fields..keep on voicing your opinion. One day the STUPID AMERICANS will wake up, when their civil rights are none.

CNN, MSNBC, etc all edit what they want to, why can't Fox? Hey, why were you haters watching Fox anyway? I am sure Canada would love to have you so called progressives. This is the home of the brave, you are crying cowards.

And this is why I'm glad to be a Canadian! CTV did not censor the speech! Fox, a pro Bush network did. Which country has the greater free speech? At this moment, mine I think!

Grayson, you're lack of patriotism is astounding and no one is going to play your stupid, pathetic little Sean Hannity rhetorical game with you. There have been countless examples; but whether or not even one has happened yet is totally irrelevant you small-minded, ignorant child.

What about Zain Afzal and Kashan Afzal two AMERICAN CITIZEN'S who were kidnapped and tortured by Pakistani agents and the FBI for a year before they were released! No charges, no lawyer, nothing. Citizen's just like you Grayson the Dumb; every bit as American legally as you are. There are MANY more cases.

Robert Parry said it best,

"Bush can spy on anyone he wants without a court order; he can throw anyone into jail without due process; he can order torture or other degrading treatment; he can launch wars without congressional approval; he can assassinate people whom he deems to be the enemy even if he knows that innocent people, including children, will die, too".

Bush has blatantly ignored the Fourth Amendment, which protects against searches and seizures without court orders, and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which created a special secret court to approve spying warrants inside the United States. You would impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a blow-job but not Bush for destroying the very fabric of our nation.

Grayson, what a traitor you are to this country.

You know, I love hearing all these liberals bitch and whine about the "fascist" state we live in and how President Bush himself has singlehandedly taken away all of our rights, apparently even including the constitution. Well you've talked the talk. Now I want ONE of you to give me an example of how the government has taken away ANY of these rights. I just want ONE true example from someone who responds on this site. This cannot be your friend's friend's uncle's monkey's brother who was a terrorist and the government actually had the audacity to listen to his telephone calls. No I want a personal story from yourself!

It's wonderful to live in a country where people are allowed to express their opinions freely. The fact that you have all shared these opinions uncensored is what it is all about. I think that you have all missed the point and it is not about what Sally Fields had to say but that she was censored in our own country. A country that prides itself on freedom of speech. Democrat or Republican...we should all be outraged that we have to turn to Canada or the BBC if we want unbiased news that has not been soldout to big business.

Time and place for everything. She should stick to the program

**Did you just say "poopy headed butt licking mug"??**

Indeed I did good sir!

I have a penchant for replying to ridiculous posts on ridiculous subjects, by saying something ridiculous. I thought it had a nice ring to it though.

This site is retarded, but it's fun too. So many brain dead indiviuals gathered in one place and ripe for the picking.

I tripped over this web site and to be blunt, this is one of the worst and stupidest sites I have EVER seen.

Who cares about sally Fields and her rambling speech?

Here's a suggestion for you--GET A LIFE

I will never revisit this site again, stupid insulting posts when there is very little civil discourse, a site based on hating a cable TV network--good God--just change the channel!!!!!

I can't just believe that some Americans actually enjoy it to live in a fascist state. What a band of morons...

Did you just say "poopy headed butt licking mug"??

Boy, you showed them! Now they'll have to agree with you!

Disagreeing with the right winger neo-cons doesn't make someone a Communist. Of course, with a clever response like yours, I'm sure I didn't really need to tell you that.

Invest in a SHIFT key you lazy bastard.

After that, go home to your mommy's basement and get moving on those peachy communist flyers you hand out to your fellow miscreants.

I believe you are ignorant of the meaning of ignorance chum, for your ignorance of world affairs is like your poopy headed butt licking mug.

Have a nice day :)

awww. dont bash the ignorant republicans, its not their fault that they dont know any better...thats almost like hating on mentally retarded people for being menatlly retarded...all of you people who still think that this disgusting miscarriage of democracy that you call a war is nessecary then why dont you enlist and go fight it yourselves if you are that ignorant.

Sally Fields's political views are about as relevant as reruns of THE FLYING NUN.

Gidget go home.

Bake some cookies or vacuum the den, or something like that. Leave the poly ticks to those what know that stuffy stuff, unlike yer retarded pig face.

Jesus loves you.

Everyone else thinks yer an asshole.

Thanks!!

Love ya,

A fan

Nazis? Oh okay yeah that make sense. How bout we go ahead and admit that Democrats want a communistic society? You know, the one George Soros is pushing for?

sally is a great actress, but a total emotional dope. i mean really, the "emmys" these blowhard actor types etc, don't get the fact that these useless award show are created solely to generate advertising dollars. "you like me, you really like me" just read your lines and shut up.

God Bless Canada.

Fox+Fox News+Republicans = Nazis

Its 1935 Germany.
